Hopefully you got the bolt and barrel from same source headspaced or know someone that can check hs 4 U if you dont have the guages
I used Aero Precision Upper and Lower on my last build shoots great and had no issues with fit on anything. I did use the brownell truing tool and bedded barrel in upper with blue loctite. Truth be told the truing tool did not take much off.

Thank you.

Welcome to the forum!
I hunt North Texas with a 20" Heavy Barrel when in the open areas, and that can get a little heavy over the day. It depends on how much truck time you have in the hunt. The 20" and 600 yards is not a problem.
Keep us posted on your build.
